a real potential 'album of the summer' fro me, not 'cos its my fave, i can just foresee it soundtracking it, blissed out it is. UNfortunately as wrighty says the drums aren't soooo pounding which is a shame, but they retain their excellent songwriting.

I bought Ten Silver Drops a few days ago, and I just listened to it for the first time today. It really is everything I hoped it would be-gorgeous and stirring space rock. I highly recommend playing it loud to get the full experience. The guitar-playing is particularly striking, and yeah, some of the drumming is mixed quieter than on the first album...but then again, this album is meant to float and be more focused on texture than the first one was. I was a bit wary of this album going into it, as the album thus far has received very mixed reviews. But after listening to it, I can say that I actually feel bad for anyone who claims to not be moved by it. Everyone deserves to be able to connect with something like this.
